Phase & Motor Rotation Tester

Limited Warranty
2

The PSMR1 is warranted to be free from defects in

materials and workmanship for a period of three years
from the date of purchase. If within the warranty period
your instrument should become inoperative from such
defects, the unit will be repaired or replaced at UEis
option. This warranty covers normal use and does not
cover damage which occurs in shipment or failure which
results from alteration, tampering, accident, misuse,
abuse, neglect or improper maintenance. Batteries and
consequential damage resulting from failed batteries are
not covered by warranty.

Note: Follow all warnings to ensure

safe operations.

Safety Notes

3. Make sure that all of the three lamps for

open phase check are on. If so, there is no
open phase. When any of the three lamps
is not on, there is open phase.

Meets EN61010-1 safety requirements.

Introduction

Use the PSMR1 to check supply line phase

orientation for devices such as scroll
compressors or motors. Works on 45-70 Hz
and on voltages between 100 and 600 VAC.
Five indicators give you information about
open phases, and indicate the sequence of the
three lines. Use the motor rotation tester side
of the meter to verify the rotation direction of
the motor shaft.

2. Connect color alligator clips to the

terminals of a 3-phase power source.
Connecting order may be optional.

Battery Replacement:
1. It is necessary to replace battery, when
green lamp is dull.
2. Use a screwdriver to unscrew the screws on
the back. Open the case (Fig. 2), take out the
battery and replace with new battery type
(DC 9V alkaline battery).
3. Reinstall the case.
Fuse Replacement:
1. It is necessary to replace the fuse when the
lamp indicator R or T show no connection
and change R-S-T is the same.

4. Check the rotating direction of the

rotation indicator if:

Lamp of counter
clockwise is lit

Lamp of
clockwise is lit

2. Use a screwdriver to unscrew the screws on

the back. Open the case (Fig. 2), take out
the damaged fuse and replace with a new
fuse (200mA, 250V).

Alternate the
connection of two of
the three
alligator clips
Phase sequence is R,
S, and T in order of
the power source
terminals where the
RED, YELLOW and
BLUE alligator clips
are connected

Operating motor rotation tester:

1. Make sure there is no voltage present.
2. Connect the test lead to motor input
terminal by L1 - L2 - L3, and press the
power button (Fig 1). The power
indicator green lamp is lit. (If red lamp of
clockwise or counter clockwise is lit before
rotating the motor shaft, it means there is
voltage present. Please stop measuring,
take off the test leads and turn off the
external power). If red lamp is lit while
rotating the motor shaft clockwise, it
means 3-phase motor connection to the
power supply by L1 - L2 - L3, the 3-phase
motor will rotate clockwise.
3. Connect the lead to 3-phase motor by
L1 - L2 - L3, and press the power button on.
The power indicator green lamp is lit.
Rotating the motor shaft counter clockwise.
If red lamp of counter clockwise is lit. it
means 3-phase motor connection to the
power supply by L1 - L2 - L3, the 3-phase
motor will rotate clockwise.

(Fig 1)

3. Reinstall the case.

4. If you require the motor to rotate counter

clockwise, you should change connection to
L2 - L1 - L3, the motor should now rotate
counter clockwise.
